Install TurboGears on windows xp

Question

I've been trying to get TurboGears installed on Windows by following this site. I've installed virtualenv but when I execute the command "virtualenv --no-site-packages testproj", I get the following message:

New python executable in testproj\Scripts\python.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python26\Scripts\virtualenv-script.py", line 8, in 
    load_entry_point('virtualenv==1.4.5', 'console_scripts', 'virtualenv')()

    startupinfo)
WindowsError: [Error 14001] This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem 

Can someone help me debug this ? If any one knows a better tutorial to install turbogears, please let me know.

Answer 1

I figured out the error. Apparently, virtualenv does not like it if folder names have spaces (eg Documents and Settings). It worked fine when my folder names had no spaces.
